Textile clothing brands

[Irezumi]

Looking to buy a new jacket and trousers (too fat for my old stuff and trousers have a rip) but unsure on what is good quality nowadays in terms of brands. Is it all much of a muchness?

In terms of price I'm not after bargain basement but I don't want to spend Rukka money either, looking around £500 give or take a bit. Like a relatively simple look (Alpinestars are out purely due to massive logos on everything), not into the adventure long jacket styling either. Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Best I've used is Weise (not too dear) and BMW (brace yourself)

Both are great with BMW being the best I've ever used. (secondhand can throw up a few bargains)

Weise is the most waterproof well built for decent money.

I'm a fan of IXS here. Reasonably priced, suit still keeps me warm and dry after 5 years, and I successfully retained all my flesh when the previous set went down the road...

I wear a full Dane goretex textile suit. Jacket, trousers and gloves. I think I paid around 300 for the jacket, 200 for the trousers and 85 for the gloves.

They were a replacement for my Rukka trousers which leaked after 6 months and they would not replace them as according to their rep "Being an instructor is not classed as fair usage" SO they would not cover the warrantee.

4 years later these Dane textiles have not let a drop of water in.

have a look on Motolegends, they do a few brands at sub Rukka prices and they do loads of YouTube content about everything they sell

maybe Klim or Helvarssons

My textiles are from Richa:

Phantom II Jacket (£175),
Colorado Trousers (£160).

I am considering upgrading to the Cyclone Goretex jacket sometime next year (£500).

I got in touch with Richa in Belgium for some after sale service and they were excellent.
